BTS3900A Signal Flow

The signal flow of the BTS3900A consists of the traffic signal flow and the signaling flow of the BTS.
DL traffic signal flow UL traffic signal flow Signaling flow
Page72
Traffic Signal Flow

The DL traffic signal flow is transmitted from the BSC to the MS through the BTS3900A. The BBU and RFUs work together to process the DL traffic signals
Opposite to the DL traffic signal flow, the UL traffic signal flow is transmitted from the MS to the BSC through the BTS3900A. The BBU and RFUs work together to process the UL traffic signals

Page76
Basic Configuration Principles

The DRFU supports a maximum of two carriers and it is applicable to small- and middle-capacity scenarios;
The GRFU supports a maximum of six carriers and it is applicable to large-capacity scenarios.
The DRFU and GRFU can be configured in the same cabinet or cell to support flexible capacity expansion.
Wide coverage is preferred. The DRFU supports the PBT, TX diversity, and 4-way RX diversity mode. Therefore, the DRFU can be applied to wide-coverage scenarios.
Page77
Antenna Configuration Principles

One dual-polarized antenna can serve a maximum of two RFUs. By default, RX diversity is adopted on the GSM network. That is, two feeders connected to two single-polarized antennas or one dual-polarized antenna must be configured in a cell.
Each sector of the BTS must be configured with the minimum number of antennas.
For the 2-way RX diversity, each sector has two antenna channels; for the 4-way RX diversity, each sector has four antenna channels.
Page78
DRFU Configuration Principles

A single DRFU does not support the S1/1 application; however, three DRFUs support the S3/3 application
When the DRFU works in TX PBT, TX diversity, or 4-way RX diversity mode, a DRFU provides only one TRX.
When only DRFU are configured, One BTS3900A can support a maximum of 12 carriers in the maximum cell configuration of S4/4/4. A site configured with the BTS3900As can support a maximum of 36 carriers in the maximum cell configuration of S12/12/12

Dynamic PBT
Dynamic PBT is a mode based on the operation of timeslots, compared with static PBT, it brings the balance between capacity and coverage and does not cause the 50% decrease of capacity The subscriber occupies a TS under the detection of measure report. When the quality is lower than a threshold, the same No. of TS of the adjacent TRX will be used as the secondary TS by the subscriber to start PBT. (The former subscriber in the secondary TS will handover) When the quality is higher than a threshold, the PBT will be canceled and the secondary TS will be released

Question
When configuring Transmit Mode, Transmit Independency or Combining can be chosen. How can we know whether Transmit Independency or Transmit Combining is used?
It will be decided by antenna mode. When 2 TRXs are used in one DRFU,
If the antenna mode is Single antenna or Double antenna(1TX), the transmit mode must be Transmit Independency
If the antenna mode is Double antenna(2TX), the transmit mode must be Transmit Combining

Main Diversity receiver

In this modeboth of the 2 TRXs can work Each TRX receives the signal from 2 feeders In the following figurethe TRX gets the receiving signal from channel A and B of the single DRFU
It is also possible for TRX to share the receiving channels with another DRFU

BTS Star Topology

The star topology applies to common areas, especially densely populated areas, such as cities
In the star topology, each site is directly connected to the BSC
Page105
BTS Chain Topology

The chain topology applies to sparsely populated areas in striplike terrain, such as areas along highways and railway tracks
The chain topology reduces cost in transmission equipment, construction, and transmission link lease
Page106
BTS Tree Topology

The tree topology applies to areas where network structures, site distribution, and subscriber distribution are complicated
The tree topology requires fewer transmission cables compared with the star topology
Page107
BTS Ring Topology

The ring topology applies to common scenarios. Due to its strong self-healing capability, the ring topology is preferred if permitted by the routing If there is a breaking point in the ring, the ring breaks into two chains at the breaking point automatically. In this way, the BTSs preceding and following the breaking point can work normally despite the breaking point; thus improving the robustness of the system

DRFU Topologies Configuration

The DRFU supports various network topologies: star, chain, and ring

Introduction of GRFU
GRFU is based on multi-carrier technology, one GRFU can support six TRXs at most.
GRFU performs modulation and demodulation between baseband signals and RF signals, processes data, and combines and divides signals.
The main new features and functions of GRFU

Inner Bias-Tee Integration of feeder current to TMA. Provides power sharing. Improves the network coverage, reduces the interference and power consumption and save the device cost.
Page111
Multi-carrier Technology
The principle of multi-carrier technology: multiple carriers share one power amplifier and one RF channel. Baseband pool replaced independent baseband unit. Improve the integration. Digital IF combination replaced Analog RF combination. There isnt combination loss.

Output power of GRFU

The output power of different configuration is also configured differently

Page117
Limitation of GRFU
If the frequency interval of a cell is outside the range of 15MHz, 2 GRFUs can be considered to be used and the range of frequency for each GRFU also should be within15MHz. Generally, it is suggested that the number of carriers should be set to 2 GRFUs averagely if 2 GRFUs are used in a cell. For example: S8 should be configured as 4+4 when 2 GRFU are used. GRFU supports whole frequency band of PGSM 900MHz, high 45MHz frequency band and low 45MHz frequency band of DCS1800MHz.
GRFU Whole 25MHz frequency band of 900MHz Low 45MHz of 1800MHz High 45MHz of 1800MHz DL 935-960MHz 1805-1850MHz 1835-1880MHz UL 890-915MHz 1710-1755MHz 1740-1785MHz
Page118
Configuration Principle of GRFU

The DRFU and GRFU can be configured in the same cabinet. When the GRFU is configured, a single BTS3900A provides a maximumof 36 carriers with the maximum cell configuration of S12/12/12. In addition, a site configured with the BTS3900As can support a maximum of 72 carriers, with the maximum cell configuration of S24/24/24.

One GRFU does not serve two cells. Each cell with a single antenna can be configured with a maximum of two GRFUs.
